I think it's a book that will start conversations among Jewish families like mine, families who lost too much and decided that speaking about these events was too much. not speaking about it created a void in me and that made me relate all the more to the author's need to know more and to research what happened to her family.
this is a beautiful memoir that discusses what happened to Jewish people during the Holocaust, specifically French Jewish people, the aftermath of the war in France, and what it means to be Jewish but not religious today (4.57)
